Let's go
ย
Come on, here we go
Oh baby
ย
Your old man, he's a homicide NYPD
Looks at me suspiciously
Your mama, she's a psychiatric nurse in the city
Works in Bellevue and I look kind of familiar
Still everything would have been alright
If I could have had you home by midnight
But it's five in the morning, we slept through the alarm
And I can think of places I'd rather be
Than sitting out here to ensure a man at 5:43
Then you take me in your arms and you drive me crazy
And I'd walk through walls for my Staten Island baby
ย
Didn't your mama warn you about rock musicians?
They're not bad in bed, but they're hopeless in the kitchen
Didn't your daddy tell you about the facts of life?
What feels so good may not be so nice
And everything, it would have been okay
If you hadn't kissed me in that special way
But it's five in the morning, my heart's contorting
And I could think of places that I'd rather be
Than having a chat with your
Your pistol-packing daddy
And then you take me in your arms and you drive me crazy
And I'd give it all up for my Staten Island baby
ย
Come on boys, let's take it out to Staten Island
Come on, here we go
ย
Would you think of marrying a rock musician?
You know what I'm good at, and I'd get better in the kitchen
I could take the test for the NYPD
Have your family over for Thanksgiving on Avenue B
And everything would be just so fine
We could stay in bed all of the time
Way past five in the morning, two hopping alarms
And I'm thinking the worst thing I could possibly see
Your old man in his pajamas, and guess what?
He's pointing his keys at me
And then you take me in your arms and you drive me crazy
And I'd join the NYPD for my Staten Island baby
The homicide squad, the vice squad
Baby, you could put me on the beat
Patrolling South Beach, I don't care, baby
For you, I would do anything you want me to
Baby, Staten Island baby, Staten Island baby, Staten Island baby
You're driving, you're driving me crazy
